Writing Lab

The Writing Lab, located in the basement of the library, offers free tutoring in composition skills to all COCC students enrolled in any course that involves writing.

Writing Lab tutors are available to help you work on a wide range of writing skills. They do not merely proofread and correct specific errors, but they can point out a pattern of errors and suggest possible strategies to help you revise. When they find recurrent problems in your rough drafts, they will direct you to review materials to help you remedy them.

When you receive a graded essay from your instructor, you may bring it to the Lab for revision or to understand how you might improve your next essay. Writing Lab tutors do not discuss grades or correct errors for you, but they can try to interpret teachers’ comments and suggest strategies for correcting errors and improving your revisions.

Writing Lab Tutors also provide help with application letters and resumes.

*Note:
It is important to remember that needs of students with disabilities might vary from quarter to quarter, and that it is not possible to list every service which a student might receive. It is important for students to work closely with the Services for Students with Disabilities Coordinator and their instructors so that their disabilities do not interfere with their educational goals. Our goal is to give every student with a disability equal access to classes at COCC. The rest is up to you!
